Is a peace deal still imminent?

Now when has he lied to us before?

Iran has won Trump’s Operation Epstein Fury. End of story. Pete Hog’s Breath fired the Navy
Admiral who told Trump before he started this unneeded war that Iran would close the Strait
of Hormuz.

Quagmire: a difficult, precarious, or entrapping position : PREDICAMENT

Sure sounds like they’re still holding some cards, calling some shots.


😒

No US based journalists have bothered to ask this basic question or inform the public of the circumstances. Since the shootdown resulted in a "response" that required a multimillion-dollar expenditure in taxpayer money and essentially involves the US in an war after the expiration of a period in which the executive can take military action without the consent of Congress, it would seem that the public deserves a clear explanation of what happened.

Presumably, the attack helicopter was flying support for an operation related to the so-called blockade and/or interdicting shipping on its own. It's not clear why we are not being informed of this, except that it is not as cool a visual as helicopter landings on board interdicted ships that DoD has been putting out.

"reporters" are useless at this point at best, at worst they are collaborators.

The US has been trying to facilitate traffic in and out of the Straits using helicopters and jets and destroyers to shoot down drones and cruise missiles headed at tankers Etc

might as well be doing something useful

it might be better just to give other countries cash payments so they can buy it cheaper.

It would certainly mean fewer U.S. troops in danger of being wounded or killed.

A straight answer from DoD is another.

Some of the online marine trade websites have already mentioned that was happening, the vessels are transiting with their identification system off and hugging the Omani Coast while the US provides overwatch at a distance, they aren't publicizing it, no sence giving the Iranians free info or bad PR that they would want to act against.

But more likely doing what they are currently doing which is overwatch of vessels transiting the Straits

Just as your post is speculation.

Which they aren't publicizing, let the Iranians think they have it blocked while up to 20 vessels are actually transiting it daily now.
Even if Iranians know they can pretend they are still blocking it for local consumption

I'm not changing the topic with you.

Point blank: I think we should know the circumstances in which this helicopter was shot down. You do not know the circumstances.

Him and he can’t stand it. So he fired the diplomats and said he could do it on his own.Ha

That trump got them bombed. Will we have to pay for repairs?

We're getting about as much actual information about Iranian strikes on US and friendly nation targets as the Russian population is getting about Ukrainian strikes on Russian assets.
